Don’t think of yourself as lazy, think of yourself as someone caught up in a competition for your attention.
Those things in your life that draw you away from from reading (games, short form content, scrolling, etc) are simply intentionally designed to win over your time.
Some users will suggest different mediums that are designed to convey the same or similar information- but these mediums have their short comings in regards to learning and I’ve become of the opinion that the medium changes the message.
What has worked for me, and may work for you is finding ways to make these other things in life less competitive.
That may mean cancelling entertainment services / closing accounts. That may mean implementing physical barriers that make it harder to default away from your book. That may mean literally leaving your devices in another location while you retreat to read somewhere else.
These things are difficult and require experimentation, but the dividends from your effort will never stop paying out.
